Well, besides the smoking . . .

I sometimes wonder how people in Spain ever make any money, because
stores, bars, and govt. offices are ALWAYS closed.

I know there is the "siesta" period where things typically close, but
it seems like things are ALWAYS closed at the most random times of day - in addition to the siesta.

Walk by a street at 11 and half the shops are open.

Walk by at 1pm and 1/3 are open.

Walk by at 4pm and a different 1/2 are open.

Walk by again at 8pm and the street is deserted.

Food is the same way. If you are looking to eat between 7-9am or
4-6pm, you will most likely go hungry.

How do people make money in Spain?
